My reservations had the same notations online and I've had no trouble at all checking in over the last week at the Renaissance Shelbourne, Renaissance Chancery Court and Marriott Champs-Elysees. They will ask for the paper certificates.

My wife and I even got upgraded to a suite at the Shelbourne -- as a lowly sliver, I was surprised. The Shelbourne has a great location and the room was fantastic. A heated towel rack above the marble tub? Incredible. Great location for seeing the sights and walking around Dublin.

Construction is still ongoing at the Marriott Champs-Elysees -- we're here now. It seems mostly relegated to those in the back of the hotel. Our room on the first floor at the back of the hotel has scaffolding outside the window. As far as I can tell, nearly all the rooms in the back of the hotel have scaffolding outside the windows. We're not complaining -- we're staying on points and have silver elite status -- but just wanted to make others aware. The room is very comfortable, even if you have to walk up about a dozen stairs to get to the bathroom.
